"Save Teghut" to Protest Outside Court Tomorrow

The Save Teghut environmental group has announced that it will be staging a protest and hunger strike outside the Administrative Court tomorrow at 11 am in conjunction with the first trial session in which a number of groups are seeking to stop the Armenian Copper Programme (ACP) from operating a mine in the ecologically rich Teghut forest in Tavush. "Ecodar" is the environmental organization chosen by the government to present the case of those who oppose the mine. Mariam Sukhudyan, an environmentalist activist, has stated that the protestors want to attract attention to the on-going case in the hope that the courts will finally see the light and issue a stop order for the mine. "Various laws were broken when the government gave the green light for the Teghut mine and the cost of the damage to be caused to the ecological system wasn’t considered," she stated.
